#310: Tom Petty In The 90s Discussion with Author Paul Zollo
Tuesday Dec 20, 2016
Tuesday Dec 20, 2016
Our previous “In The 90s” episodes examined the careers of Van Halen and Metallica in that decade and discussed if they had managed to survive the turbulence that was the rise of alternative and independent rock music. For our latest edition, we’re joined by author/songwriter Paul Zollo to revisit the career of Tom Petty, who released the book Conversations With Tom Petty in 2006. Starting with the Jeff Lynne produced Heartbreakers backed album Into The Great Wide Open, we dig into the changes in Petty’s songwriting, the band personnel changes, his second solo album Wildflowers with producer Rick Rubin onto the decade closing album Echo. Of course, there is much more to the story, so be sure to tune and then leave us your thoughts on Tom Petty in the 90s.
Songs in this Episode:
Intro - Medley (Into the Great Wide Open, Learning to Fly, Mary Jane’s Last Dance, You Don’t Know How It Feels)
47:07 - Walls (Circus) from She’s The One
Outro - Honey Bee from Wildflowers

#309: Hater by Hater
Tuesday Dec 13, 2016
Tuesday Dec 13, 2016
For our final review episode of the year, we’re tackling one of those oddball side-projects from major label artists that seemed to pop up on a weekly basis in the 90s. The self-titled 1993 debut by Hater, featuring members of Soundgarden, Monster Magnet and Devilhead isn’t what you’d expect. Instead of polished hard rock and metal riffs, there’s 60s garage and psychedelic rock. If you bought this thinking you were getting some Badmotorfinger-esque, you might have been disappointed. Were we? Tune in to fine out.
Songs in this Episode:
Intro - Who Do I Kill?
12:58 - Roadside
15:36 - Lion and Lamb
25:50 - Down Undershoe
Outro - Circles

#308: Imperial Drag by Imperial Drag
Tuesday Dec 06, 2016
Tuesday Dec 06, 2016
With ties to the perfectionist power-pop of Jellyfish and Guns ‘n Roses guitarist Slash’s Snakepit, this one-album-and-done band is perfect fodder for Dig Me Out - Imperial Drag and their self-titled 1996 album. Combining T. Rex grooves with analog synths, Imperial Drag we found more in common with British glam revisionists like Suede and Placebo than their North American alternative and indie rock counterparts. So why didn’t these radio friendly hooks grab mainstream listener ears? We discuss, and make sure to share your thoughts as well.
Songs in this Episode:
Intro - Boy or a Girl
2:10 - History of the Band
8:46 - Crosseyed
15:30 - The Man in the Moon
18:55 - Dandelion
25:42 - Playboy After Dark
Outro - Stare into the Sun
